I haven't submitted a picture to PUG yet. I only have about 10 shots
that I thought were good enough to scan and use as wallpaper on my own
computer. Only 2 of those might be worth the cost of enlarging and
framing. I haven't been excluded because of the Gallery Themes, I've
been excluded because of a lack of talent and courage.
PUG is a as much a gallery for viewing as it is for displaying. I am
getting a great education from viewing the PUG shots that have been
submitted, and from the follow-up comments. My range of pictures is
getting broader, I am trying new things, and my confidence in my own
pictures is growing. Sometime soon I will risk submitting a picture and
I am sure I will find a month that fits.
I would actually like to see a gallery of pictures shot with lenses
shorter than 28mm. This would help me decide if this is just a novelty
lens area or if it has value.
